{4 memories of summer}

Mmmmmm. Summer days are so great! The warmth, the relaxation, the birds chirping and the adventures. Now that winter is approaching, I must find a way to keep myself warm while living in “The Frozen Tundra.”

May I present to you:

Mint Chocolate Chip Ice-Cream —There is an ice-cream shop just a few blocks from my parents house. I remember riding bikes there, walking there, driving there on our way home from ______. The shop has been around forever… at least 24 years :) Now we go with my nephews, Collin & Jack. They love it and I love the memories we’ve made there. I could probably count on my two hands the number of times I ordered something other than Mint Chocolate Chip in a cup {please}. It’s for sure my fav.

Sprayed by the Sprinkler—When I was younger I loved playing in the sprinkler. I used to run back and forth from the pool to the sprinkler. So silly ;) I remember my dad not appreciating all the grass that brought to the pool. BUT MAN, I sure did have a good time. I loved how the first minute of sprinkler water was always piping hot. Do you remember that? Ahhh, it’s so great. It went from piping hot to frigid cold. Whew, so cold. Hose water has it’s own distinct smell {and taste}… it’s amazing.

Pink Banana Seat Bicycle–I can’t remember how old I was — maybe ten — when my dad made me a pink banana seat bicycle. I remember the can of pink spray paint and waiting, ever-so-patiently, for it to be ready to ride. The driveway at my parent’s house is pretty large so it was great for riding my bike. I’m also pretty sure I remember riding on my banana seat bicycle with my brother! Tee he he :) A few years older I told my dad I wanted a pink Jeep. Oh man, I can’t even imagine wanting that now! The last car I owned was an orange Saturn VUE. Definitely not pink, but definitely a great color!

Painting Rocks with Nail Polish–Whatever, tell me you did the same thing as a kid! ;) I would gather small rocks and get my collection of nail polish. Don’t worry Sunshine Meg, I don’t do this anymore. But if I did, I for sure wouldn’t use the polish you gave me! No way, too important of polish!!! :) Anyways. I would bring inside these rocks and show them to my parents as if they were the most amazing thing they’ve ever set eyes on. Because clearly they were the most amazing thing I ever set my eyes on.
